Frailty has been associated with increased risk for adverse health-related outcomes. Several factors, including some financial and labor issues, have been linked to the development of such a phenotype.This cross-sectional study of 927 community-dwelling older adults living in Mexico City aimed to identify the association between employee benefits (EB) and frailty status. Eight EB were reported while frailty was identified according to the phenotype proposed by Fried et al.Frailty’s prevalence was 14.1%. Participants reported the following EB: bonuses (12.3%), profit sharing (23.6%), pension (44.9%), health insurance (50.6%), food stamps (15.7%), housing credit (11.6%), life insurance (13.2%) and Christmas bonus (54.8%). Multinomial logistic regression analyses showed that EB were statistically associated with frailty (OR 0.85; 95% CI 0.74–0.98; P = 0.027).The found associations and the underlying differences are important for preventing frailty in the elderly. Further research with longitudinal data is needed to examine the underlying mechanisms.
